This attractive parkland layout has typical Grimsdell design features. Interesting holes, with a risk-reward flavour as opposed to a “drive-wedge” setup. Par 3s are fun. No 8 is stroke 6 and plays a touch uphill, well-guarded by bunkers and a drop-off short and right of the green. Greens in good shape and running well, yet the rest is regretfully poor, particularly tee boxes and bunkers. Randpark generally keeps a high standard of conditioning but not on my visit. Bushwillow was untidy, with weak attention to detail. I frequently found my ball in an unkempt area, even close to the fairway. Service at the 19th remains good with a great menu and atmosphere, notably at weekends.
